Privacy Policy

General statement

MIXIMALISTE takes your privacy and security of personal information very seriously. We respect the privacy rights of our visitors and recognise the importance of protecting the information collected about you. We have provided a secure environment and a strict policy that describes the way we collect, store, and use the personal information that you provide to us.

MIXIMALISTE does not gather any of your personal information while you are using the Website, unless you are asked to provide such information, for example by signing up for an account or for the mailing list, or making a purchase. Personal information is only gathered with your informed consent. Where you have provided personal information, it will only be used for the stated purpose.

Connection to our server is fully secured and certified. The “S” on HTTPS means that when you are accessing our web site, all traffic between your web browser and the web site uses the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) – in other words it is encrypted. If anyone manages to intercept the message, all they will see is gibberish. Even if you access our website from a public WIFI, the connection is still secure.

What does Privacy Policy cover?

This Policy covers the treatment of personal information gathered by MIXIMALISTE when you are using or accessing our Website. This Policy also covers MIXIMALISTE’s treatment of any personal information that we may share with our business partners or other third parties under very limited circumstances.

This Policy does not apply to the general practices and treatment of information by third parties that MIXIMALISTE does not own or to individuals that we do not manage or employ. While we attempt to facilitate access or link to only to those third party websites that share our respect for your privacy, we cannot take responsibility for the content or privacy policies of those third party websites. We encourage you to carefully review the privacy policies of any third party website you access.

Finally, this Policy does not cover any personal information you send to us via any non-secured mode of communications such as email, instant messenger or Twitter, as communications via these methods may be subject to interception, loss, or alteration

Security of information

MIXIMALISTE uses only industry best practices (physical, electronic, and procedural) in keeping any data collected secure. In addition, MIXIMALISTE uses third party vendors and hosting partners to provide the necessary hardware, software, networking, storage, and related technology required to run the Website, and these third parties have been selected for their high standards of security. For example, MIXIMALISTE uses MICROSOFT AZURE as its hosting partner, an industry leader in cloud solutions hosting.

When you are making a purchase on the website, all transaction data, including credit card information, is transferred by encrypted Secure Sockets Layer (“SSL”), the standard for Internet transactions.

Secured payment

MIXIMALISTE provides a secured payments method for purchases made on the Web site. You may use your credit or debit card directly on the Website, in which case personal information is transferred securely to a third party payment processor, Stripe.

By making a purchase on the Website, you authorize MIXIMALISTE to use these payment gateways (STRIPE) and to transfer personal information to them, but only to the extent needed to complete the transaction. No credit card information is ever stored on servers controlled by MIXIMALISTE. Stripe has our permission to store, on behalf of MIXIMALISTE, the data pertaining to the executed transactions by clients of the website (including credit card information) with the goal of ensuring a secure method of payment and proof of purchase archive, allowing for the protection of MIXIMALISTE clients, and for follow-up as needed. This transactional data may be used for validation and registration purposes of MIXIMALISTE clients, and to trace any fraudulent activities if necessary.

When a client makes a purchase using Stripe, the client is covered by the payment gateway’s privacy policy. We encourage you to read Stripe's privacy policies to learn more about how your Personal Information is treated by those third parties.

Saved payment card details will only be shared with our payment partner and not with any other third parties and will only be used to process your order, using our payment partner's systems.

Who will we share your personal information with?

Except as provided in the next paragraphs, MIXIMALISTE does not divulge any personal information gathered via the Website to third parties. Moreover, MIXIMALISTE does not sell, rent, trade or license any Personal Information regarding its users to third parties except for the cases provided below. Only the employees, representatives, subcontractors, officers, agents, or assigns of MIXIMALISTE are responsible for the management and development of the Website, and only these individuals have access to the information collected there. These employees, representatives, subcontractors, officers, agents or assigns all have been instructed to comply with the Policy.

We may share or match your data with third party business partners to provide you with the products, services or information you ask for or for interest-based advertising. We may pass your information onto one or more of the following organizations: (i) data processing companies, mailing houses and other third party suppliers working on our behalf; (ii) ad-serving agencies and other advertising intermediaries; (iii) credit reference or fraud prevention agencies, which may keep a record of that information; (iv) research students, universities and other research and development organizations; (v) regulatory bodies, government and enforcement agencies, such as the police.

Every now and again, we may receive requests for information from government departments, the police and other enforcement agencies. If this happens, and there is a proper legal basis for providing your personal information, we will provide it to the organization asking for it.

We collate information about site traffic, sales, wish lists, and other commercial information that we may pass onto third parties, but this information does not include any details that can identify you personally.
